A council could be stung for thousands of pounds because one of it's councillors allegedly broke the terms of a deal struck when it parted company with a former Town Clerk.

The council's insurers will pay of course, but how long do we have to put up with this? How much money is he costing the people of Ferryhill? What in hell's name was he doing contacting Jamie Corrigan's current employers about what happened back then? Who the hell does this spiteful little c****n think he is?
